Andalucia trip 10 to 23 December 2019
10th Dec
Flight took off from Bristol at 13:45 UK time.
My seat was on left of plane so the view out of the window was Eastish . Was mainly cloudy till past Madrid but break in clouds by the north coast and the sea town of Santander. When we got past Madrid I observed interesting mountain formations quite linear and possibly foothills of pyrenese far of but unlikely . Then as I got nearer Andalucia I observed a kind of squiggley reservoir maybe S shaped or serpentine. Then great views of the snow covered Sierra Nevada.
As we came into land we passed very close to the Fuente de la Piedra Lagoon ... virtually over the top and i was able to look down and see if i could see any of the large flocks of flamingos . I could not see any , maybe they're elsewhere at this time of year. Then we continued gradually decending very close to my favourite three reservoirs and to Mount Huma ... we were on about the same level as The summit and maybe only half a mile or a mile , the summit seemed very close and i could see all the details very clearly. At the same time as going past the summit i could see the village of El Chorro , which i know very well , it was almost directly below us so from this information I should be able to work out how close we were to the summit .
We landed about 5 pm spanish time at Malaga airport . Before leaving customs i got some good photos and video of the baggage handling area on the edge of the airoplane parking bays where the suitcases are unloaded onto the conveyor belt. THe area is below the main airport building but is open on the side with no wall so you can look in . I find it quite interesting getting familiar with both sides of the airport .
Once through customs I was quite hungry so i walked to the petrol station where i had my usual "Menu" Tuna bocadillo heated up and coffee for 2 euro15c. The lady in the garage was friendly with me i still don't know her name and wanted to only talk to me in english so she can pratice.
After my food and drink I headed straight to my camp Rana to see if it had been disturbed since its discovery last month. I cant be 100 percent sure but probably no one had been there as the fence was closed and my special bamboo cane was unmoved.
I noticed that all my Tomato plants were dead ... not sure why... possibly a very cold spell or possibly they were too waterlogged or too shaded during the lower winter sun ( they were under a bramble and eucalyptus overhang which protected them from the summer sun but maybe at a disadvantage in the winter.) The Asclepius milkweed plants for monarch butterflies on the other hand were doing fairly well apart from two of the plants had leaves that had been eaten by insects , one plant almost totally defoliated . I looked hopefully to see any sign of Monarch Caterpillars as i had put some eggs on the leaves but there was no sign so i think it was another insect .
I walked onwards to IKEa for my free cups of tea and good value Perro Callientes (Hot Dogs) then back on the train for Los Boliches. Here I sat on the beach and strted reading a new novel i found in the airport ... The Hanging Valley by Peter Robinson . This is not the kind of book I would usually read as it is a novel and worse a murder mystery (set in the Yorkshire Hills) I usually read text books and true life stuff, not novels. However I recently read the Pathfinder by James Fennimoor Cooper written in the 1800s , which was a pretty good read , so I thought I would give this a go . So far I would say Im quite enjoying the plot but the quality of writing is nowhere as good as the Pathfinder with silly over the top descrpitions of things that are unnecerssary . The worst example so far is pg 112 when the author describes in great detail for no apparent reason what the detective is having for breakfast quote .. "The main course consisted of two fried eggs , two thick rashers of Yorkshire Bacon , Cumberland sausage, grilled mushrooms and tomato with two slices of fried bread to mop it all up . Before that they had drunk grapefruit juice and eaten cereal ... " I mean after reading Fennimore Coopers poetic descriptions of the Eastern American Woods and Lakes this was very poor almost as if it was written for young children to help with their spelling, not adults. Also Coopers dialogues between characters were very funny and tongue in cheek sometimes times, even though written in Old English.
After about two hours lying on the beach in the warm winter sun I headed to the Los Boliches library where I looked at a encyclopedia type book on Catalonia and Aragon . It had good maps. I learnt a new Spanish word "DESAROLLO" means growth eg. economic growth of a city ( in this case Barcelona) and also growth of say a child or plant.
I also learnt about three rivers the Rio Segre , Rio Noguera (has whitewater rafting) another i´ll add in later if i remember ( Iv forgotten) .Anyway apparently these are good for fishing too.

My Review of "The Wood - The Life and Times of Cockshutt Wood" By John Lewis-Stempel
My Review of "The Wood - The Life and Times of Cockshutt Wood" By John Lewis-Stempel finished reading 7 Dec 2019
I enjoyed this book ... the author used some good and imaginative descripitive words for various elements of Woods and the English countryside and the fauna and flora therein.
Learnt some new things about woodland eg .Xylophile is the correct word for a lover of woodlands.
I tried looking for Cockshutt Woods on Google Maps but couldnt find one in South west Herefordshire, the nearest being in Shropshire .Some of the nearby places he mentioned in book are however found on Google Maps eg Ewyas Harold Common on Pg 13
On Pg 261 He listed some beetles which I thought might be interesting to look at in more detail and get photos Limoniscus violaceus , Ampedus nigerrimus, Elater ferrugineus, Eucnemis capucina , Dryophthorus corticalis

Part 3 Latest Trip to Andalusia Oct 29th to Nov 16th 2019
Part 3 Latest Trip to Andalusia Oct 29th to Nov 16th 2019
After sitting enjoying the view for a while I got up and headed uphill alongthe side of the large water shutes with the Pine woods on my left until i reached the top of the Guadalteba dam.
It was a windy day and the surface of the lake was quite choppy and, due to the choppyness, the water was cloudyer than usual . I looked down in to the lake but it was too cloudy to see any fish . Now it was October the temperature of the lake would be slightly cooler and the fish would be spending more time deeper down. Having said that there were still plenty of Big carp showing by the Conde del Guadalhorce dam . Although the nights are a lot colder there are many sunny days in october and the sun is still very warm and raises the surface temperature of the lakes quite quickley. Next time i visit I must remember to head up to the Conde Dam at about ten pm and see if the big shouls of bleak are still coming up to the surface like they did back in spring and summer. I've got a funny feeling that they do still come to the surface , particularly after a funny winters day, as I might vaguely remember seeing them last winter, but I want to see for sure this winter and record it for future reference .
Anyway after looking into the lake for signs of fish i decided to explore the large area of Aleppo Pine forest situated south of the Guadalhorce reservoir . If you look on my above map it is the large dark green area with red outline situated directly below the word Pennarubia. The Guadalteba reservoir is the one pointing from south east to northwest .
Anyway this area of forest I decided to explore more fully covers quite a high hill or small mountain, located between the two western most reservoirs. I'm not sure what the height of the highest point is but it's a good climb. I set out from the road near the dam . It was quite warm the sun was shining with some cloud cover.
I left the track and headed left into a shallow valley . I noticed there quite a few fallen pine trees some has probably fallen more recently and the heart wood was still very hard under the bark, which was flaking off. I thought to myself that perhaps one day I might cut a grew of these up and perhaps try making a Hogan .. round Log-houses built by the Navaho indigenous people of North America. See

Continued Part 4
I continued up through the pine woods . I was feeling a little peckish and decided to start looking for food i could forage. My thoughts first went onto the pine cones as inside them are numerous pine seeds . As mentioned before the pines here are Aleppo Pines a tree native to this western part of the Mediterranean .
Its important to collect pine cones that are not yet open but fully grown, and best to pick them directly off the branhes rather than off the ground. .
I had a penknife with me and this is the easiest way to open the cones . Each scale must be prized open one scale at a time starting at the base of the cone . At the base of each scale inside is a winged seed . The black seed at the base of the wing is only small , half the size of a grain of wheat or less and you need to eat a lot of them to make a meal quite time consuming too. Annyway I ate about twenty or thirty seeds , if you were starving doing this would help keep you alive in the woods, though best combined with other wild foods .
I also noticed the wild asparagus grwing here and there on the woodland floor was starting to produce new shoots off the old tough branches and i picked a few of the youngest tips of these shoots and ate them raw . To me theyre almost pea like in taste, mildly bitter but not bad , they would be better boiled and more of them .
As i walked into the sunny glades i noticed there were lots of grasshoppers about sunbathing even though it was November... insects are seen in Andalusia pretty much all year , including butterflies. It is now Decebember that i am updating this blog although im writing about back in November (Im back in spain again after threee weeks in uk) .I was watching yesterday quite a few Monarch butterflies on the wing near Plaza Mayor , I was looking down from the railway bridge coming back from IKEA and this is in December!
Anyway going back to the grasshoppers , I have read that grasshoppers make good eating although i have yet to try one myself. I did eat crickets once when younger i found the legs were a bit off putting but i think next time i see lots of grasshoppers i am going to try eating them cooked . I didn't try eating them whilst going through these woods but it's useful to know they are there for next time.
I came to a high point in the woods where it opened up into a fantastic view over Conde del Guadalhorce and Ardales I could see the Mountains Torrecilla and Alcaparain but Prieta was hidden behind Alcaparain . below me was a small cliff and beyond that was the start of the lare olive plantations .
I looked to my right and saw the summit of this wooded hill i was on and was a little surprised to see a group of people standing on top.

As you can see from the map the three reservoirs form the shape of a three leafed clover , all meeting near the start of the "Caminito del Rey" and Guadalteba reservoir is the central leaf of the three .

Highlights of trip
First ever Trip to Colmenar 7thDec 2017-12-25
I left the main Coach station in Malaga by autobus and headed northish through the city of Malaga past Ciudad Jardin and the Limonero reservoir and joined the A45 road winding up through the mountains following the course of the Guadalmedina River .The river was a mere trickle at the time … there had obviously been little rain this year. The main vegetation along the route were Wild olives, Mastic trees (Pistacia lentiscus) and the odd Carob tree amongst scrubby grassland. Also were orchards of Almond trees and citrus trees in places , with the ever present Arundo donax (giant bamboo grass) along the valley bottoms together with various reeds eg Cattail (Scirpus sp) and Phragmites australis. The mountainous country on the right (Monts de Malaga)were higher than the high land on the left …though it was hard to tell this from the road as the road was situated down in the valley.
Above: Typical scenary travelling up through A45 road foothills of Montes de Malaga , the road follows the Rio Guadalmedina Valley . This photo and following two snipped off google maps
Above: Looking down onto the Guadalmedina river which in this photo is a trickle .
Above : Another view of A45 Road from Malaga heading north.
Eventually we came to the small town of Casabermeja, situated at the top of the valley with views to the northwest of the El Torcal Massif . At Casabermeja we took the A356 road East for a few miles till we came to the northern edge of Colmenar . Colmenar is a small quite old mountain town, full of white houses built down a quite steep slope. The central plaza of the town was closed to traffic as it was undergoing major renovation. Therefore the bus dropped us at the highest , northern endtown and i started my walk heading in an eastwards direction to the edge of town. Here there were stunning views to the east of the large mountain called La Maroma in the distance ,with the town of Colmenar below in the foreground, several other sizeable mountains were faintly seen behind la Maroma . I took a walk past some very modern architecture houses to the north east of Colmenar till I reached a dirt track heading roughly west-north-west. The view North from the highest point of the track overlooked a vineyard and behind that a long ridge of quite high mountains, to the south of the path was a large plantation of olive trees all heavy with olives. I sat on a low wall at the gate of the olive plantation and ate an early supper of tinned sardines , an apple and a yoghurt and then sketched the mountains to the north. The sun started setting to the east over the other high mountain range the montes de Malaga with cresta de la reina silhouetted as the highest point at approx 1300 metres. It was a lovely sunset with many of the northerly mountains painted in an orange-pink glow.
I then walked back downhill to the centre of town where i went into a quiet, traditional bar and had a beer and read the local paper.There were old 70s paintings of flamenco dancers and agricultural workers on the bar wall. I caught the bus back into Malaga and by now it was pitch black so no more scenary to be seen. It was a pleasant outing Colmenar appears to be a quiet town with maybe quite a few wealthy house owners and, being 600 metres above sea level , offers stunning views of the mountains around .
Three visits to Aljaime
On my first visit of the holiday to Aljaima i decided to follow the railway track for a change. I spotted glued onto a bramble stem the large creamy coloured egg case of a praying mantis, still unhatched . These eggcases are made from a foam like substance secreted by the female mantis . This foam hardens, inside are hundreds of eggs which hatch into tiny miniature mantis when the weather begins to warm up.
Next i came across a small concrete railway hut with an unlocked door. Upon entering i noticed a large pile of organic looking debris on the floor at the back . Upon closer examination i noticed in the pile a great many tiny skulls and bones of mice and small birds, and a few pellets amongst them. In the ceiling was an open hatch where a bird of prey, probably a barn owl must have been regularly sitting and regurgitating the pellets. The number of bird skulls could suggest it was a kestrel rather than an owl …or even a Sparrowhawk , though im not sure if Sparrowhawks prey on rodents.
I left the railway siding and headed down a track all the way to a gravel processing plant ( after getting past a very vociferous free roming dog that belonged to a house across the railway track ).
I started exploring the area of river Guadalhorce near the gravel extraction plant . The land around the river had been terraced into many levels as a result of the gravel extraction and a large wide pool had formed where the river had been widened and deepened . I noticed a great number of baby tamarisk plants germinating in the newly disturbed banks as well as Cattail Rushes of varying ages . Barbel were still feeding on the opposite side in the shallow muddy water even though it was December the water was still warm enough for them to be active near the surface.
Suddenly two large birds flew past overhead . I had already noticed them quite far off sitting in a dead tree but wasn’t able to identify them till they flew past …. Black storks !! Quite rare birds , I last saw them in Southern Africa 25 years ago!! They were obviously using these fairly quiet wet lands as places to feed on frogs etc.
Finding strength, peace, comfort and more from Gods promises in the Bible.
I find that when I am feeling depressed discourage and without hope its because I am not spending enough time talking to God ( prayer) and reading and meditating on Gods promises to us in the Bible. Its amazing how time spent in Gods Word can supernaturally lift me up .
